"Take them all! This back-and-forth is illogical."
Xu Pinghai walked over slowly, a shrimp dangling from his mouth and a stack of plates in his arms.
Hearing his words, the boys finally accepted the money.
"Come on! Go wash the dishes."
Although Xu Anshu took the money, he still felt embarrassed.
He called out to the others to continue working.
"Aren't you going to eat? There's more." Fatty Wang poked his head out from the food delivery slot.
It's a freshly cooked midnight snack.
"No rush, let's finish our work and then continue eating..."
Xu Anshu and his group directly took over the work from Aunt Zhao and the others, and the group squeezed together.
The sound of washing dishes was constant and loud.
"It won't taste good when it's cold!"
Fatty Wang gave a reminder.
"It's alright, as long as I can fill my stomach." Xu Anshu's tone was full of indifference.
"If they won't eat it, I will."
Old Lu quietly brought up another jug of wine from the cellar, his eyes wide with suspicion, as if afraid that Xu Yiyi would suddenly appear from some corner again.
Then he lifted the hem of his shirt towards Fatty Wang.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"I'll make some more dishes..."
Fatty Wang crept around, preparing to make a move.
Old Lu covered the wine pot again. "No need to start a fire. There's still half a pig's ear left from yesterday's braised pig, isn't there? It's crispy and crunchy, perfect with wine. Just make a couple of cuts, sprinkle some scallions, and it'll smell amazing..."
Before he finished speaking, Fatty Wang had already pulled out several side dishes from under the cutting board.
It fell onto the cutting board and made a series of beeping sounds.
Finally, the two of them carried two plates of shiny, fragrant side dishes outside.
Their eyes met, and they couldn't help but look away from their mouths.
"You'd better have the guts!"
Fatty Wang couldn't help but sigh.
In this restaurant, no one but Lao Lu would dare to steal alcohol like this.
"So what? You'll still get scolded anyway."
Old Lu said smugly, picking up a peanut with his hand and putting it in his mouth.
Xu Pinghai was just about to wash his hands and go into the kitchen for a late-night snack.
Sihai and Sanchuan, those two lads, immediately rushed over.
They simply stuffed his share of the wages into his hand.
"What are you two doing? I'm your uncle, and you expect me to pay you for doing some work for your own nephew and niece? Am I even human?"
As Xu Pinghai spoke, he was about to stuff the money back into Sihai's hand.
"Take it! Uncle Pinghai, what kind of behavior is this, pushing it back and forth like this..."
San Chuan spoke with a playful tone, enunciating each word clearly.
This is using his earlier words to shut him up.
Xu Pinghai pretended to be angry and tapped the two children's foreheads with his fingers.
In the end, he was defeated, shutting himself down by his own words.
Sanchuan and Sihai swaggered back into the main hall like victorious generals.
Xu Yiyi had just finished sorting out the accounts and counting the money.
As the night deepened and stillness returned, the bells hanging from the corners of my eyes jingled softly as raindrops struck them.
Sometimes timely, sometimes slow, like someone fiddling with abacus beads.
……
"Shall we leave now?"
Xu Anyang stood at the doorway, holding a broom, looking outside.
The puddles on the bluestone slabs reflected the dim candlelight in the paper windows facing the street, and the figures inside were fragmented and pieced back together by the water ripples.
Because of the heavy rain, there were no customers left in the restaurant at this moment.
In the past, we would still be busy at this time.
"We have to go. I don't think the rain will stop. If we don't leave now, the rain might get heavier again."
Fortunately, the town is not far from Wanghai Island.
The group hurriedly made their way to the dock.
"If it rains tomorrow, let's take a break. There aren't many customers anyway."
Xu Yiyi held the umbrella and said to Xu Anyang next to her.
I was worried that he would get up early again and wait on the river.
"After this rain, it's probably going to get really cold."
Xu Anyang crossed his arms and sighed. Even someone as strong as him started putting on more clothes.
Xu Anyang rambled on, saying, "Business is the hardest in winter. The dishes freeze shortly after they're served, and customers lose their appetite."
Xu Yiyi, however, discovered a new trick to it.
